"Ireland's Rocky Coastline" by Karla Nolan

This scene is near Dingle, Slea Head, in Ireland.  It is a larger Irish painting than I've done in a while and it took a bit of forever to paint it -- I went back many, many times to get the shadows and rocks done to my satisfaction.  I'm happy with the results, all it needs now is a good frame and a good home.  Don't forget, St. Patrick's Day is next month, we're all Irish for a day!

"Return to the Irish Cliffs" by Karla Nolan

Whenever I am indecisive about what to paint, I know that I can count on Ireland.  It is so beautiful there and the multitude of green hues is a blast.  You can't go wrong with the greens of the land, be they emerald, olive, lime, and so on.  Never a dull moment on the palette knife!  

I believe this is Slea Head, near Dingle.  I proudly display an Irish bumper sticker on my car, by the way, even though I don't have a drop of Irish blood in me -- my husband does, however!

"Cliffs at Dingle, Ireland II" by Karla Nolan

I received an inquiry from a young lady recently -- she had seen my artwork on-line and liked it (which, of course, I do encourage -- viewing and liking!).  Her grandmother had passed away and left some palette knife oil paintings which she liked, as did her sister.  So, I was commissioned by her to recreate a 12"x16" palette knife oil painting, sizing it down to an 8"x10" artwork.  The smaller one would be more affordable, of course, and a standard size is easy to frame.  You can see the end result above -- I e-mailed her a photo of the finished work, she was pleased, and now this piece of art is on its way to her sister!  Yaay!  

Commissions can be a challenge to create -- the client and the artist need to stay in touch -- but are also a fun challenge and painting a different size image from the originally view piece of art is like reliving a couple of memories -- reviewing the flower, landscape, skies, whatever the subject may be and then reliving the original act of painting again, but to a different scale.  I recommend it!
